Ruben Toledo, the fashion illustrator husband of clothing designer Isabel Toledo, has designed three amazing covers for classic novels that probably remind you of high school: The Scarlett Letter, Pride and Prejudice, and Wuthering Heights. The covers are beautiful and so interesting – a perfect motivation to revisit the classics. The books come out on August 25th and are published by Penguin.
Growing up, I would watch Disney princess movies and loved that each and everyone of them had their own happily ever after. But I’ve always wondered what if they really didn’t live happily ever after? What if, instead, Prince Charming wasn’t necessarily charming at all and they had gotten a job and live in the suburbs? Dina Goldstein thought about this and began the Fallen Princesses project. http://www.jpgmag.com/stories/11918
Take a look at what real life does to these princesses.
Where’s Prince Charming to save you now?
I bet she wishes that she never woke up from that glass coffin
Not so Little Red Riding Hood
Beauty or the Beast?
I have a confession to make… I am a SciFi geek at heart.
I’ve been on a SciFi kick this summer. I’ve recently finished reading Ender’s Game. It’s an incredible SciFi thriller that doesn’t get too heavy with the science, but it does touch your heart with the human relationships that develop. For a book that was written in the 70’s, Orson Scott Card was quite on point with some of the technology that we use today.
And have you seen the new Star Trek movie? It’s extremely entertaining. The characters were all well casted. I thought Zachary Quinto did a fantastic job as Spock. In the beginning, when they showed a little bit of their childhood it reminded me of the kids in Ender’s Game.
My recent SciFi obsession has inspired me. Don’t be surprised if you see jumpsuits in the upcoming spring 10 collection.
you decide
Shoes are always on my mind, too.
When one has ruffles are accessories necessary?
